Lowcountry Rapid Transit

Project History

The South Carolina Lowcountry has long been one of America's premier destinations for visitors and new residents. In fact, with dozens of people relocating to the area every day, our region is growing at three times the national average. More people means more diversity, community vibrancy and economic opportunity. But with growth comes growing pains -- including strain on our already congested roadways.

In response to a clear need, LCRT project sponsor, the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments, conducted an intensive 15-month analysis to identify a transit alternative that would improve mobility and propel our region forward. After examining many options, and considering all available data, the i-26ALT study concluded that a bus rapid transit system running parallel to Interstate 26 would be the best regional solution.
